Checking the automatic transaxle fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground
with the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to thefollowing procedure. HFC5008
G110C01FC-EAT
Fluid Capacity
The total fluid capacity of the trans-mission unit is 6.1 litres (1.6 DOHC)/ 6.7 litres(1.8 DOHC).
! CAUTION:
The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at nor-mal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radia- tor, exhaust system etc., are very hot so you should exercise great care not to burn yourself during thisprocedure. 1. Place the selector lever in N (Neu-
tral) position and confirm the engineis running at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up
sufficiently (fluid temperature70~80°C (158~176°F)), for example by 10 minutes usual driving, shift the selector lever through all posi-tions then place the selector lever in N (Neutral) or P (Park) position.

3. Confirm that the fluid level is in
“HOT” range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add the specified fluid from the fill hole. If the fluid level is higher, drain thefluid from the drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold condition (fluid temperature 20~30°C (68~86°F)) add the fluid to “COLD” line and then recheck the fluid levelaccording to the above step 2. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au-tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.
!
Fluid level should be within this range
C090A03FCWARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. Highpressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts the body. People using pacemakers should ensure that they keep a distance of 30cm from the ECU or wiring har-ness within the engine room whilst engine is running, since the high currents in the Common Rail sys-tem produce considerable magnetic fields.

Brake Fluid Level
HFC5005
Petrol engine
G120D02FC
Diesel engine
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser-
voir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of thereservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having carefully cleaned the area sur-rounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be noted that thebrake fluid level will decrease slightly as the friction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is anormal condition.
BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING
SG120A1-E
CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking
system is essential to the safe op- eration of the vehicle and therefore, any maintenance operations other than those listed below should beentrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer.
!
SG120C2-E
Brake Fluid Recommendations
Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3
or DOT 4 specifications or higher may be used in the braking system. Care should be taken to observe the in- structions and precautions printed uponthe container.

!WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an un- sealed container. The presence ofwater in the braking system will cause vapour locks and increase the possibility of brake fade alongwith promoting corrosion within the braking system. The brake fluid must be changed at the specifiedtime or mileage interval to ensure continued safe operation of the sys- tem. Brake fluid will cause rapidand serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the af- fected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingested andensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of children.
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
The system should be checked for leakage at the same time.Ensure that the clutch fluid level is
always between the "MAX" and "MIN"level markings on the fluid reservoir.Fill as required. Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immediately.

SG140A1-E
Condenser
Ensure that the condenser is periodi- cally inspected and that accumula- tions of dirt, dead insects and leaves etc, are removed to ensure that theefficiency of the system is not im- paired. Care must be exercised to ensure that the condenser fins are notdamaged during cleaning.
SG140C2-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash
vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by your Hyundai authorised repairer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem with a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.
! SG140D1-E
Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for
ten minutes or so weekly during peri- ods when the system would not nor- mally be used to ensure that the com-pressor and seals are lubricated. If this precaution is not observed the compressor seals may become stuckto the compressor shaft and damaged when the system is next used result- ing in a loss of refrigerant and damageto the compressor.
!
SG130B2-E
Adding Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tight- ened to avoid contamination from for-eign matter or moisture.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and
should never be stored in an un- sealed container. Do not allow pe- troleum base fluid to contaminatethe brake fluid since damage to the rubber seals of the system may re- sult.
!
WARNING:
Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If ac- cidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed with water im-mediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingested and ensure thatfluid is safely stored away form the reach of children.

You need a helper to check the brake
pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and then hold it down with a force of about 490N(50 kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the top surface of the brake pedal to the as-phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is not within the limits specified in the illustration,have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec- essary.

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
SG200A1-E
Fusible Links
The fusible link prevents damage to
the wiring harness in the event of an electrical system malfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicative of a seri- ous overload condition having occurredand therefore the electrical system should be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer before a replace-ment link is fitted. WARNING:
Under no circumstances should a fusible link be replaced with any- thing other than a new link of thesame rating. The use of higher rated links or other means of connecting the circuit will create a potential firehazard.

At the scheduled maintenance inspec-
tion, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evi- dence of deterioration and replaced if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to
be sure there is no interference be-tween the belts and other parts of theengine.

o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto
skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushed with copious amounts of water and medical as- sistance sought.
o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious amounts of water or milkfollowed by an ant-acid (raw egg ormilk of magnesia) must be drunk. Vomiting should not be induced and medical assistance must be sought.
o Batteries must only be charged in
well ventilated areas from whichnaked lights or sources of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unauthorised persons are kept awayfrom batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the positive (+) and negative (-) termi- nals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.
The battery fitted during production isof the "Maintenance Free" type. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Do not touch the radiator fan until it is completely stopped.
As the coolant temperature de-
creases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condition.
